The HTML escaping feature of CGI is called with 'use CGI qw(:escapeHTML);'.
It must be called explicitly or it will not be imported into your namespace.
As a function it can be called as escapeHTML("some stuff & some other
stuff") though I'm sure you can use the OO method.The URL escaping feature is similar, called with 'use CGI qw(:escape);'. -----Original Message----- From: Adam Morton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 1:23 PM To: 'John Brooking'; Beginners CGI Subject: Re: Does CGI.pm have escapeURL? The URL encoding versions are in CGI::Util and are just called 'escape' and 'unescape'. I don't know why they are not documented in the CGI perldoc, or even the CGI::Util perldoc. I guess they are considered private, although they are handy. -Adam ----- Original Message ----- From: "Camilo Gonzalez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'John Brooking'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "Beginners CGI" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 2:15 PM Subject: RE: Does CGI.pm have escapeURL? > Try 'escapeHTML()'. > > -----Original Message----- > From: John Brooking [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2002 12:49 PM > To: Beginners CGI > Subject: Does CGI.pm have escapeURL? > > > Does CGI.pm have some kind of URL escape function, > similar to escapeHTML?
